Do you know those sports movies that all inspirational, speeches, and "Oh no they're gonna fail on the third act, but they can make it!". Picture "Pacific Rim" but instead of robots it's football. That's how every sports movie is, basically.
Well you can take that concept and spin it around on its head with a bunch of zaniness, especially if you're a big fan of Captain Tsubasa, because this movie kicks ass. The characters are all super likable, and everyone is acting their best. The tone is also perfect, nailing the balance between heartfelt comedy and Zucker Brothers screwball comedy.
This is my favorite Stephen Chow movie, and I'd watch it in a heartbeat any day of the week.

I've always believed that this film is better than Kung Fu Hustle. A love letter to friends is better than a love letter to other movies
